CHICAGO, Jan. S.-The cables were some
what improved in tone to-day, but did not
lend much strength to the opening markets..
All through the session there was very little
news to effect the course of wheat. The prlce
remained closely around S51ac for May, but
generally a shade under that hgAre.
It was estimated that the visible supply
would disclose an increase of fully one half a
million bushels. Toward the close there was
moderate realizing, and the market closed at
S51sc-the lowest point of the day. Practically
nothing was done in corn to-day, trade not
being sufficient to bring about any apprecla-
BILE fluctuations. The great bulk of corn sold
was al ound 421I0425sc, but 1eli off 14c near
the close. Pork did much less than yester-
day in the way of fluctuations, but the sit
uation was improved by not being quite so
weak. After the opening at Sl2.35 for May
the decline was quite steady to Sl2.271a, but
no very large quantities sold at this figure.
The recovery put the market back to S12.3211a.
